Double Din Stereo?

I've done a bit of searching, but haven't come up with any good info. How hard would it be to put a double din head unit into the W202 dash? It looks like the heater controls could be moved down to where the phone is and that would leave room, but I don't want to cut the dash. Is there some kind of different dash plate that has a double din opening? Maybe one with carbon fiber? I don't like how the wood on the dash is different than the one on the door. Carbon fiber dash would look pretty sweet.

Sorry if this is a noob question, but I wasn't finding a whole lot searching.

I would check out club202.com. There is a sponsor there called "LPD auto". They have alot of junkyard 202's. This way you could order a used 202 dash center with similar options and just hack that one up. If it comes out like junk, well, it was junk from the start. This way your OEM dash can't get ruined. Also, you can move the controls around refering to the climate control etc...

It has been done before.

Untwist the collar and voila, it's a cake job C43AMG. You'll need dry hands though...

Yes, that is what I'm looking for. Don't suppose you know any of the part numbers?
